1756pp. 38 (2)[Publisher's advertisement]. 8vo. Lightly age stained. Disbound. Founded in 1687, this Charity School was situated in one of the poorest parts of London. Andrew Kippis (1725-1795) was a nonconformist divine and writer; and his association with many charitable institutions in London and Westminster enabled him to effectively promote the nonconformist cause. "His editorial connection with the `Biographia Britannica' constitutes his chief claim to remembrance. He was employed by the booksellers to prepare the second edition of that work, `with corrections, enlargements, and the addition of new lives.' When he had been engaged for some time on this task he found it too vast for him to execute alone, and Dr. Towers was appointed as his associate. Johnson told Boswell in 1777 that he had been asked to undertake the new edition of the `Biographia Britannica,' but had declined it, `which,' says Boswell, `he afterwards said to me he regretted.' Although Boswell admitted that Kippis had discharged the task judiciously, and with more impartiality than might have been expected from a separatist, he complained that the work was `too crowded with obscure dissenting teachers.'" - DNB. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Henry Augustus Shute (1856-1943) was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (1875) and Harvard University (1879). He was born and lived in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he worked as a lawyer and a judge of the municipal court. Sometime in the 1890s, He began writing for the Exeter News-Letter. His weekly stories based on recollections from boyhood were popular, however, it was not until the publication of 'The Real Diary of a Real Boy' (1902) that Shute acquired national recognition. He went on to write nineteen other books and published extensively in the Saturday Evening Post (1925-1928). Called the "Mark Twain of New England," Shute's humorous, innocent, and 'jolly' stories continue to provide valuable insight into the customs of his time and place. Tasha Tudor later (1968) illustrated this charming New England Tale. HUMOR 8

Decimus Juniu s Juvenalis (Circa: 55 - 130 A.D.) was one of the greatest of Roman satirists. Born in Aquinum, Italy, he served in Britain and in Egypt as tribune in the army. He is best known for sixteen splendid s atires in verse, dealing with life in the Roman era under Domitian and his successors. He affected the attitudes an angry Stoic moralist. He exposed unnatural vices; anguished over the misery of pover ty; fooled with the precarious life of courtiers and status-seekers; and condemned the extravagance of the ruling classes. His works are often bound with those of Aulus Persius Flaccus (34?62 A.D.), a nother Roman satirical poet who was greatly attached to the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Cornutus. His writings (only six short satires), exposed to censure the corruption and folly of contemporar y Roman life, contrasting it with the ideals of the Stoics and of earlier Rome. The text of this edition is quite beautifuly printed. W112
